Great Style after the wedding

I received this catalog in the mail and I loved the the items that I found, so I had to find the online store. I thought of a young urban couple who wanted to dress up their new space together. Or maybe a "not so urban" couple who simply likes urban decor.

CB2.com has great items, from dishes to furniture to art. Now I know a young couple starting out may not have all the funds they would like however, I found the prices very reasonable. There were some pricier items , however knowing which pieces to buy can allow you to have a great look for less. I also discovered that they have a gift registry, so put CB2 on your list of places to register. Here are a few of my favorites.

OK, you knew I had to get in my orange, this flashback bedding is bright and cheery for your spring and summer bedroom looks.



I love the Lotus dinner ware. Great for a couples first dinner with mom and dad or another newlywed couple.



This Piazza Sofa looks really cozy, imagine you and your new hubby cuddling with some popcorn and a great movie. Also, if you are living in a "space challenged" apartment, this comfy couch could double as a "guest sofa". Although as comfy as it looks, you might not want to invite too many people over.




Cocktails anyone? I loved these colorful Gem Martini glasses and the Tokyo 4-part server. These would be great for entertaining, the vibrant colors would make a bold statement.







This bongo dining table is a great space saving table for the "space challenged" apartments. It would double as a great buffet table for entertaining. Love multi functional pieces!!!!



There are so many great things, so I suggest you stop by CB2 for more great looks.

Wedding Registries




You have booked your venue, bought your dress, picked your favors. Have you registered? Wedding registries today have gone beyond china and bed linens. See what is new in the world of wedding registries.

I searched online for unusual wedding registries this is what I found:

Honeymoon Registry

It might be rude for a couple to ask for money, however on this site couples can register for a honeymoon. Couples can create a page with honeymoon details to a specific destination and they place a specific amount for guests to contribute.


Charitable Registry

If you are more interested in giving than receiving, you can check out this site. You can create a customized web page and encourage your guests to give. Go to the JustGive.org's Wedding Center to create your registry.

Spa certificates


If you're honeymooning at a spa (or having a destination wedding at or near a spa), consider asking for spa gift certificates.



Green Registry

Rawganique.com allow your guests to support your commitment to the environment.

They allow wedding couples to register their hemp gifts here so that family and friends may purchase hemp gifts that truly reflect the couple's commitment to the environment and our planet's future.



Here are some sites where you can register and they offer great management tools:

Myresgistry.com

Felicite.com

Felicite is a unique registry service that allows registrants to list any gift for any occasion.
Felicite even allows registrants to gifts such as a house down payment, a donation, a honeymoon fund, or items that you would rather buy from a merchant yourself. For physical gifts Felicite will place orders for you for items from member merchant or approved merchant stores.

Remember to register and be inspired by the unconventional.
